Overview

Go on an adventure as you explore the deep mysterious waters of island studded sea passages in search of wildlife aboard a rugged Zodiac expedition craft. Your experienced captain and expert naturalist will use their considerable local knowledge of the area to unlock the secrets of this biologically rich ecosystem. You will feel the ocean breeze on your face and taste the salty sea air as you skim across the waves. You will indulge your curiosity as you navigate narrow channels, next to rocky coast lines, emerald forested islands, and black sandy beaches. You will become an explorer, a mariner, an adventurer.

Stop At: Tongass National Forest, Ketchikan, AK

Explore the mysterious waters surrounding the Tongass National Forest as we search for wildlife aboard a rugged Zodiac expedition craft. With an experienced captain and expert naturalist as your guide, you will encounter the vibrant ecosystem of Southeast Alaska which is home to a variety of wildlife including Salmon, Harbor Seals, Dall’s Porpoise, Bears, Bald Eagles, Steller Sea Lions, Killer Whales (Orca), and Humpback Whales. While we can’t guarantee any specific wildlife encounters, we believe that with the experience of our crew, and the quiet unobtrusive vessels we have selected as exploration platforms, there is a good chance of experiencing something truly magnificent. Beyond the possibility of wildlife, viewing the breathtaking wilderness of SE Alaska from an open Zodiac is a unique way to explore the area. Let's go out to sea!

    This was a truly amazing experience. My parents love being out on the water, and so we chose to go out with Out to Sea Expeditions, and they showed us the natural beauty of Southeast Alaska by water. They are great, as they have a smaller boat than most companies, so they are able to go to a lot of places that the larger boats can't go to, and they are able to get a lot closer to shore than some of the other companies. Highlights from our excursion included: - Getting hands on with some of the plants found in Southeast Alaska - Learning about the inter-tidal ecosystems - Seeing the Beaver Clan House and the Saxman Totem Park from the water - BIRDING! If anyone is wondering if they should book with Out to Sea Expeditions, just do it. It will be an experience that you will not easily forget. 10/10 will go again!

    This was the high light of our Alaskan cruise. The owners of the company are the ones who take you out on their boat and their love of the area is obvious from the beginning. They are very knowledgeable of the area and take you to see all sorts of wildlife. We saw various birds, seals, and of course whales. They even have names for the whales!! Can't recommend this highly enough, don't miss it.

    We had an amazing experience on this expedition. Our guides were amazing! Very knowledgeable about the terrain and wild life and really exceptional people who felt like family from the start. We saw bald eagles, wales, seals, and a host of other wild life. We also explored many of the nearby islands in an intimate, small boat that allowed us to feel a strong connection to the scenery. This expedition is a must. I can't speak highly enough about it.

    We saw Orcas, seals, Dolphins, Eagles, sea lions, salmon and multiple species of birds and trees. Delaney and Eric were safety conscious and made the trip extremely enjoyable. They had extensive knowledge of Alaska and the wildlife. I would highly recommend this tour!
